About VMware Cloud Director extension for Data Solutions

VMware Cloud Director extension for VMware Data Solutions extends VMware Cloud Director's multi-tenant-safe cloud consumption surface to RabbitMQ.

VMware Cloud Director extension for Data Solutions offers a simple tenant-facing self-service UI for the lifecycle management of these data services with a single view across multiple instances, and with URL to individual instances for service specific management. Service instances are deployed in the service provider’s VMware Cloud Director-managed VMware vSphere or VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid on-premises infrastructure. The full stack – management to individual data services – is VMware-supported and available on a consumption basis. Service providers have a choice to offer VMware Cloud Director extension for Data Solutions as self-service to data-experienced tenant customers, as a managed data service, or as a sovereign cloud data service.

  Configure the Certificate Authority (CA) for RabbitMQ. See Use TLS with Operators in the VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ for Kubernetes documentation.

• Installation on MacOS fails with an error

  When you attempt to install VMware Cloud Director extension for Data Solutions on MacOS, you receive the following error messages:

  macOS cannot verify the developer of darwin.run

  and

  macOS cannot verify the developer of hook

  You must authorize the permission to an unidentified developer temporarily. The permission is open for short period. If the permission error occurs again, you need to re-authorize the temporary permission in MacOS. See Open a Mac app from an unidentified developer in the MacOS User Guide.

Known Issues

• You cannot publish a solution to multiple tenant organizations

  When the service provider tries to publish a solution to multiple tenant organizations, the process fails with an error. The problem occurs when there are concurrent VMware Cloud Director API calls to publish a rights bundle.

  Workaround: Serialize the access to the API endpoint, so that the calls are not made concurrently. For more information, see KB 90027.
